A resolution expressing support for cooperation between the Governments 
                 of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Whereas, on July 21, 1992, the democratically-elected Governments of the 
        Republic of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina signed the Agreement on 
        Friendship and Cooperation;
Whereas, on March 16, 1994, the Washington Agreement established the Bosniac-
        Croat Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and provided for the 
        confederal linking of this Federation to the Republic of Croatia;
Whereas, in the Split Declaration of July 22, 1995, the President of the 
        Republic of Croatia, Dr. Franjo Tudjman, the President of the Republic 
        of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Alija Izetbegovic, and the President of the 
        Federation of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kresimir Zubak, 
        pledged to widen and strengthen defense cooperation to defend the 
        territorial integrity of the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of 
        Bosnia and Herzegovina; and
Whereas, the forces of the Republic of Croatia have reestablished government 
        control and authority over three former United Nations protected areas 
        under Serb militant control within the territory of the Republic of 
        Croatia: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) urges the Government of Croatia and the Government of 
        Bosnia and Herzegovina to continue their military cooperation 
        for the purpose of defending the territorial integrity of the 
        Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina;
            (2) urges the Government of Croatia and the Government of 
        Bosnia and Herzegovina to continue and strengthen their 
        political and economic support for the Bosniac-Croat 
        Federation; and
            (3) calls on the Government of the United States to--
                    (i) provide full support to the Bosniac-Croat 
                Federation;
                    (ii) uphold as a top policy objective preserving 
                the self-government and territorial integrity of the 
                Republic of Croatia and of the Republic of Bosnia and 
                Herzegovina; and
                    (iii) oppose any peace settlement that would 
                undermine this objective.
